Puffy Eyes: Home Remedies That Work

without comments

Part 1 of 2

Do you have puffy eyes because of aging, stress, smoking, drinking or just about anything else? Don’t despair – help is here and it’s free! The four easy home remedies below are free, as well as easy to do and will go a long way in reducing your puffy eyes.

1. Green or black tea. Caffeinated teas help constrict blood vessels and diminish swelling (due to aging, smoking, stress, etc), while herbal teas (especially chamomile) contain anti-irritants that soothe and reduce puffiness.

Directions: Steep 2 bags of your choice of tea in hot water for 4-5 minutes. Let cool until the bags are comfortably warm to the touch. Lie down, close your eyes, and place a tea bag over each eye; then cover with a soft cloth. During hot months, put the cooked tea bags in the refrigerator and apply to eyes when needed for a refreshing, de-puffing experience.

2. Spoons. If you’re in need of an ultra-quick reduction of your puffy eyes, tea spoons, believe it or not, work amazingly.

Directions: Put 4 or 6 spoons in the refrigerator. Lie down, close your eyes, and put a spoon on each eye. As the spoon warms, replace it with a cold one from the fridge.

3. Cucumber. This is perhaps the best-known remedy, known by supermodels as a sure-fire and super-quick way to reduce puffiness right before a photo-shoot. The cucumber’s contracting qualities cause your blood vessels to constrict, quickly and dramatically reducing puffy eyes.

Directions: Lie down, close your eyes and put a thin slice over each eye. Relax for 5 to 10 minutes while the cucumbers work their wonders.

4. Egg whites. This one’s a real souffl for the face with amazingly age-defying benefits. Also wonderful for reducing crow’s feet!

Directions: Beat one egg white until frothy and stiff. Apply with a soft cloth (or brush) around your inner and outer eye areas, and along your cheekbones. Leave on for 10 mins. Remove by spaying the applied areas with water. Next, use use cold water on a cotton ball or washcloth to remove.
